My dear Wayne, it is almost abusive to answer your posts but you keep
asking for it.
You see, most contemporary aquarists suffer from what I call the NASA
Syndrome; this is what happened, NASA appointed top scientists to
develop a pen that could write in 0 gravity. For years they spent
millions of dollars and finally came up with this state-of-the-art
pens that could write in space, I believe they cost $500 average.
When Americans and Russians met in the space station, an american ran
out of ink and asked the russian if he could borrow his PENCIL($0.05).
Did you understand? I hope so!

Interesting story, but untrue. See
